Simply…the French guys again are “at wrong place, at wrong time” or read “collateral damage” for future NATO presence in Ukraine (but getting closer to “big enemy” – Russia); the “opportunity cost” for Frenchmen is the current benefit from NATO and future business interests “in new Ukraine” and todays’ not selling the boats: those will not be delivered, so the money should be paid back to Russians (good relations between France and Russia from 18th and 19th century should be kept so pay back is “a must” fro France), and NATO (or even USA) should pay France, or most likely, they will get bonus for future obligations toward NATO…simply, isn’t it??? Meanwhile France will again fail in “cash flow” of their national balance sheets…sorry guys, you are “fighting in somebody’s’ else war”…but that’s the price for being there when Ukraine will be “shared among friends”…
